2021’s final new ‘easy reader’ ebook published today!

November 29, 2021 by Daniel

Easy Italian reader ebook - Un giorno da ricordare - cover image

Buondì. This week sees the publication of the year’s final new Italian ‘easy reader’ ebook. But don’t worry, there’ll be plenty more in 2022! Want to know what’s in our pipeline? Simply put, masses! For example, we’ll be publishing a five-part series of stories following different generations of an Italian family who migrated to the […]

Unwritten rules

November 26, 2021 by Daniel

Buondì. It rained all day yesterday, so I’m counting myself lucky to have survived. Why is that, you wonder? Because when it rains here in Bologna (it doesn’t happen that often), people take their cars, rather than walking, cycling or standing in line for a bus. Which means there’s more traffic to contest with, as […]

EasyItalianNews.com pause & ‘Easy reader’ ebook reminder

November 24, 2021 by Daniel

Buondì. Short and sweet today as, like a lot of people in the northern hemisphere in November, I’m fed up with the dark, the weather, the daily grind, and with the fact that it’s still more than four weeks until Christmas! Which might not happen anyway because… well, let’s not think about that. So just […]

Brain training & Third new ‘easy reader’ ebook (of four…)

Italian 'easy reader' ebooks - Dieci regioni italiane - cover image

Buondì. Today we have the third new Italian ‘easy reader’ ebook from our November ‘bulge’, which was caused by having to find work for people to do during the 2020 lockdowns. As I mentioned last week, I’m now rushing them out before things get busy at Christmas/New Year. Last week there was Ti racconto la […]

Boosted!

November 19, 2021 by Daniel

Buondì. I have a pain in my left shoulder, guess why. You got it – the famous third dose! Which I booked through a link in a text message I got on Tuesday, and received yesterday (Thursday) morning, in a purpose-built vaccine ‘hub’ created from a disused engineering factory on an industrial estate not far […]

More typical errors from Francesca, our ebook writer (and teacher)

November 17, 2021 by Daniel

Buondì. I’ve been hanging onto a text that our regular ebook writer (and Italian teacher) Francesca sent me a while back. For a rainy day, so to speak. Or a day when I had little ‘voglia’, like today. I’ve got to go pay the car insurance, and deposit money at the school’s bank. And it’s […]

Second new ‘easy reader’ ebook (out of four…)

November 15, 2021 by Daniel

'Easy' Italian reader ebooks - Ti racconto la mia giornata - cover image

Buondì. You’ll excuse me if I keep this short-ish, and rather commercial in content. I’m writing, wrapped in a duvet, on a chilly Sunday morning in Glasgow, Scotland, with the expectation that, having hopefully passed the Day 2 lateral flow Covid test, which I’ll be poking up my nose later today, tomorrow, that is to […]

Contempt

November 12, 2021 by Daniel

Buondì. Wednesday’s article elicited this, from club member Richard: “Your contempt for your students is evident in every paragraph. If they sense it—as I’m sure they do—you are doing them more harm than good. They deserve a teacher who genuinely loves the job.” Which seemed a bit strong, but at least provided a topic for […]

Prepositions lesson (& reminder about our new ‘easy reader’)

November 10, 2021 by Daniel

Buondì. Yesterday evening I was teaching two Italian guys in their forties about prepositions, or rather about why they’ve managed to not learn how prepositions are different in Italian and English, despite thirty years of trying. No one taught them the ‘rules’, they explained. Nonsense, I replied. How would that help? There are thousands, probably […]

Italian easy reader ebook - Il calendario di Laura - cover image

Buondì. All last week was taken up by the FTLO (Free Trial Lesson Offer), but thankfully (because it involved a lot of work) that’s now ended! Thanks to everyone who participated. Some will have already done their free trial, others will be organising a convenient day/time, which can be difficult for certain time zones, or […]
